1.0 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Digitrax UT6 family of throttles. The
UT6 is a LocoNet throttle with Digitrax IR untethered capability and the UT6D
version has the same capabilities, with the addition of Digitrax Duplex teth-
erless operation. Both Duplex and IR operations work with existing Digitrax
compatible command stations, layouts and UR92, UR90 devices.
There are other international versions of the Duplex throttle and this manual
covers the complete family, since operations are consistent and similar. The
model ID is shown on the LCD screen at power on
To simplify operation the UT6 employs a color graphic LCD screen and a vari-
ety of cascading menus, up to five context-related soft keys and a built in con-
text-related help system that prompts available actions, or information on the
side-scrolling HELP line.
This context HELP system prompting, coupled with a color LCD screen makes
the UT6 very easy to use and a powerful layout control throttle. You will not
need to refer to a manual very often!
The UT6 throttle firmware can be downloaded and updated in the field using a
PC running the free DigiIPL app and connected to a compatible Digitrax USB
device. The UT6 functions and screens may change with updates from the
Digitrax Web site, so be sure to check the UT6 product pages to get the latest
information and .dmf download files.
